Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Weather instruments vocabulary - ESL worksheet by mbravoayer
Explanation:
We are given a word search and eight pictures of weather instruments. The task is to:

1. Find each instrument’s name in the word search (only the *weather instruments* from the list).
2. Write that name under the correct picture.

First, let’s list the weather instruments from the provided word list (ignore non-instruments like “WEATHER”, “CLIMATE”, “WEATHER SATELLITE” — though satellite *is* used for weather, the instructions say “only the weather instruments”, and the list includes it; but we’ll verify based on pictures):

Given list:
- WEATHER → not an instrument
- CLIMATE → not an instrument
- THERMOMETER
- BAROMETER
- RAIN GAUGE
- WIND VANE
- ANEMOMETER
- WIND SOCK
- HYGROMETER
- WEATHER SATELLITE (used for observing weather, often considered a tool/instrument in modern meteorology)

But there are only 8 pictures, so we need exactly 8 instrument names.

Let’s match each picture one by one using common knowledge:

1. Top-left: Vertical glass tube with red liquid and °F/°C scale → Thermometer

2. Top-middle: Round dial with numbers 0–100 and a needle → This looks like a hygrometer (measures humidity, often shown as %). Some hygrometers use this analog dial style. Alternatively, could be a barometer? But barometers usually show pressure in hPa or inHg (e.g., 980–1050), not 0–100%. So likely Hygrometer.

Wait—let’s double-check all pictures carefully by standard appearance:

Picture 1: Glass tube with temperature scale → Thermometer

Picture 2: Circular dial with 0–100% → Hygrometer (humidity)

Picture 3: Rooster on directional arrow (N, S, E, W) → Wind vane

Picture 4: Blue cups spinning on a vertical axis → Anemometer (measures wind speed)

Picture 5: Dial with pressure scale (e.g., 960–1040 hPa) and maybe weather icons → Barometer

Picture 6: Red-and-white striped cone on pole → Wind sock

Picture 7: Clear cylinder with graduated markings, open top → Rain gauge

Picture 8: Satellite in space with solar panels → Weather satellite

Now confirm which 8 are in the word search. Let’s scan the word search grid (we can mentally trace or rely on standard puzzle design). The words listed to find are the 8 instruments above.

Let’s verify each word exists in the grid (by typical layout — but since we can’t run code, we trust the puzzle is solvable and the 8 instrument names are present):

- THERMOMETER → appears vertically or horizontally (likely vertical near left)
- BAROMETER → yes
- RAIN GAUGE → two words, but may be written as “RAINGAUGE” or separate; in puzzles, sometimes combined. But the list shows “RAIN GAUGE” as two words — however, in word searches, spaces are usually omitted. We assume it's present as “RAINGAUGE” or split — but since the instruction says “write the words (only the weather instruments)”, and the list gives “RAIN GAUGE” as one entry, we treat it as one label.

But the blanks are 8, and we have 8 pictures, so we assign:

1. Thermometer
2. Hygrometer
3. Wind vane
4. Anemometer
5. Barometer
6. Wind sock
7. Rain gauge
8. Weather satellite

Now double-check picture order:

Top row (left to right):
- Temp gauge → Thermometer
- Dial 0–100% → Hygrometer
- Rooster arrow → Wind vane
- Cup anemometer → Anemometer

Bottom row (left to right):
- Dial with hPa scale (960–1040) and needle → Barometer
- Red/white wind sock → Wind sock
- Graduated cylinder → Rain gauge
- Satellite → Weather satellite

Yes — that matches standard representations.

So the correct labels under each picture are:

1. Thermometer
2. Hygrometer
3. Wind vane
4. Anemometer
5. Barometer
6. Wind sock
7. Rain gauge
8. Weather satellite

Final Answer:
Thermometer, Hygrometer, Wind vane, Anemometer, Barometer, Wind sock, Rain gauge, Weather satellite
